The group of seven - two adults and five young offspring, including three adorable baby kits and two yearlings - were relocated from an area in Tayside
A family of beavers have been successfully moved to Loch Lomond in another key milestone for the species’ return to Scotland.
RSPB Scotland, which has led the project, said the presence of the hardy river-dwellers in Loch Lomond would create and boost local habitats, improve biodiversity and aid in the fight against climate change. “The National Nature Reserve, with its mix of open water, fen and wet woodland is a perfect place for them.“We are looking forward to seeing the many benefits this should bring to other wildlife from birds to dragonflies, fish to frogs, both on our nature reserve and in the wider NNR.
“Now children growing up in Scotland will grow up alongside beavers - learning about the amazing things that they do, like natural flood management, and creating wetland habitats that support a range of other species.”
